Justice Department to Monitor Elections in Illinois

WASHINGTON – The Justice Department announced today that the Civil Rights Division will monitor elections on March 20, 2012, in Cook and Lake Counties, Ill. The monitoring will ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and other federal voting rights statutes. The Voting Rights Act prohibits discrimination in the election process on the basis of race, color or membership in a minority language group.

Justice Department personnel will monitor polling place activities in Cook and Lake Counties. Civil Rights Division attorneys will coordinate federal activities and maintain contact with local election officials.

Each year, the Justice Department deploys hundreds of federal observers from the Office of Personnel Management, as well as departmental staff, to monitor elections across the country. To file complaints about discriminatory voting practices, including acts of harassment or intimidation, voters may call the Voting Section of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division at 1-800-253-3931.

Welcome to the United States Department of Justice

They have to make sure each and every illegal invader steps up and pulls the lever, or marks their ballot!

The Voting Rights Act prohibits discrimination in the election process on the basis of race, color or membership in a minority language group.

Unless of course you are anti-Obozo, then they let the New Black Panthers "greet" you.

Cook county, the sanctuary county and Lake county where you have to speak Spanish to get by. Who didn't see this coming?

They need to read the laws concerning non citizens voting in elections and the requirements for citizenship.
